Here's our final table of content! For our (hopefully) last update, we've tweaked the CSS lessons to feature FOUR PARTS. Not only this makes the later sections less overwhelming, but it allowed us to add extra content on accessibility issues 👀 Buy it here: store.fujocoded.com/products/oth...

It's TOMORROW! With our learn-along back from reviewers, we're officially "just packing up". Next step, delivering the learn-along to the inboxes of those who bought it in April 🏃‍➡️📬 Buy it here for $5 before the price goes up: store.fujocoded.com/products/oth... Final table of content below! 👇

...you still have some time to buy our HTML/CSS/JavaScript digital pack at the literal-steal-we-swear price of $5, before it increases after our imminent soft launch. Check out the table(s) of content for our "random generator" learning pack👇🖼️ and buy it here👇🔗💖 store.fujocoded.com/products/oth...

An upgrade we'll release later uses a form with a submit event + preventDefault instead of button + click, and splits strings on "\n" + createElement + appendChild instead of innerHTML with <br> tags. This type of progression leaves people space to grow at their pace, while still learning "real" JS.

Thank you! There was a lot of thought put into balancing "this is how you'd do it for real" with "this is a broadly useful technique" with "this does not require a lot of more advanced knowledge to get started with".

@fujoweb.dev has just the thing 👀 learn.fujoweb.dev/quickstarts/...

The new split (paired with reordering individual rules to build a better progression and narrative) really helps create those very important natural breathing—and sometimes skipping!—points. You can't keep flexbox from being a meaty chunk to digest, but you can set a nice table (of contents)

For example, here you can see the difference between the Table of Content for the CSS pt.1 after yesterday's revision vs when I started. While the content was already written, the order and progression of the topics felt overwhelming—partly unavoidable, since it's *a lot* of important concepts.

Haven't been keeping people *quite* as informed about progress on this as I intended for our ~accountability push~ 💪🌟, but in my defense this is what the more accurate todo list turned out in practice ...but it's also a perfect representation of the level of care put in the learning experience 👩‍🏫✨

7 days to our soft launch date! 🎯 It's (almost) time: the preview of our Fortune Cookies Digital Pack will ship to early buyers in just a week, gearing up to the OFFICIAL RELEASE on 🦃 Black Friday 🦃 This is a huge opportunity for us to get early feedback, and a huge opportunity for you to... 👀

Full table of contents is out! Check it out here 👇

On one hand, the style of box we're using for our CSS sections is so much harder to do little language tweaks compared to our JS one. But on the other hand...pretty ✨ Get it here: store.fujocoded.com/products/oth...

Torpedo'd my morning a little so today's progress will have to be later in the evening (hopefully), but I am pretty proud of this content warning I added. It's also the perfect excuse to talk about "text-wrap: balance", "vw" units, and potentially* alpha channels in colors.
